have also suspended operations
for the same reason. The strikers are
peaceable and no outbreak is appre-
hended. This morning the yardmen
on the Toledo division of the Pennsyl-
vania compGny's system notified the

Of the country about concern doing
business at No. AZ Maiden Lane, known
as the Victor Watch Company, which
was flooding the mails with circulars
advertising cheap watches. Inspector

Inspector Hartshorn arrested West in
his small Office on Maiden Lane and
